“Ireijo’s work is to follow her story, balancing the natural with the self-conscious. Her painting opens up what is raw and previously repressed, and the irony keeps it taut… To really follow the flow of these pieces is to peel away the layers by touch. It’s what happens when you let yourself feel the music and just dance without inhibition, rocking to the pulse and taking it all the way. The key is, you can’t think about what you look like in the mirror. “ Micaela Porta, Curator.

Beechwood's Spring Arts Immersion Salon "Giving Voice: In this time of protest, resistance and tumult we chose a theme that would Give Voice to the people that are here among us everyday that inspire us, that we admire, that we want to help, who help us, who help others."

My inspiration - Tim Milenkevich, athlete, artist, writer. One of CT's most accomplished runners, and recent winner of the Long Island Marathon. Six years ago, he started a daily running streak - running at dawn, on the treadmill, at night, on the trails and streets in the heat and snow.

This project is a collaboration. The painting is by me; the video by Tim.
